Overview

Eastgate Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation has received a Trust Grade of A, indicating excellent quality and a high recommendation for families considering this facility. It ranks #28 out of 505 nursing homes in Indiana, placing it in the top half, and holds the top position in Daviess County, suggesting it is the best local option available. The facility is trending positively, having improved from six issues in 2024 to none in 2025, although it still has some areas for improvement. Staffing is rated average with a score of 3 out of 5 and a turnover rate of 48%, which is on par with the state average, while it boasts more registered nurse coverage than 98% of Indiana facilities, indicating strong oversight. However, there have been some concerns: the facility failed to maintain a safe and sanitary environment in several rooms, with issues like damaged walls and non-functional lights, and food storage practices were found lacking, with items improperly stored and exposed to air. Overall, while Eastgate Manor has notable strengths, attention to these concerns is necessary for continued improvement.
